COMM. w. rau.oi.oo, COMIiT to FRANCISCO, PUBI.ISItllU A0 paOPtlKTOlW. J 4 MEN M. rOWLY, Editor. Hepwobth Dixon is lecturing in New York on the German Empire. Extensive forest and marsh fires are prevailing in Northern and Northwestern Ohio, the result of the prolonged and continuous dry weather. The Columbus Gazette's gadabout does get off some very good things. In the last number he has an article on the Columbus Fire Department "with other matters utterly foreign to the subject, thrown in by way of variety." Oub Canadian neighbors claim to have discovered a method of navigating the St. Lawrence throughout the winter, in spite of the ice blockade. Whether they mean to cut a chanuel and employ about a mil lion of men in keeping it open, or substitute sledges for boats, has not transpired. Iff a county not far off the Democrats succeeded the other day in electing the prosecuting attorney. "Why," said Republican to a prominent Democrat, referring to the matter, "the man can't draw an indictment." "Certainly," re plied the Democrat, "we don't expect him to." The Board of Trustees of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Xenia seems to have preferred to accept the unconditional and immediate resignation of Superintendent Jenner rather than to take a direct vote on the charges against hira. This seems to imply that the Board would have sus tained the charges. The Protestant Episcopal Convention, voting by dioceses, refused to confirm Dr. Seymour as Bishop of Illinois, although a majority o the delegate! were in his favor. Dr. Seymour's caw will now, in the course of a few months, go before the Board of Bishops, at whose hands con. firmation is certain. The Cincinnati Commercial would do us injustice to suppose that we had not made complaint in the proper quarter before calling attention through our columns to the advertisements of the . press agent at New York. It is not a matter over which we have lost much natural rest, however. The press dispatches are good enough otherwise to satisfy stockholders. even if an occasional advertisement were slipped in. Our greatest objection ib that it breaks the rule of "well regulated news papers" given by the Commercial that advertising shall not be admitted in that form. ' On the 1st instant Mr. Speaker Blaine, of Congress, delivered an address before Wisconsin Agricultural Society on "Mu. nicipal Debts," in which he presented statistics showing that the one hundred and eightysix towns in the United States having over 10,000 inhabitants each, have an aggregate debt of about $400,000,000, The aggregate debt of all other towns he roughly estimates at $80,000,000. . Coun ty debts amount to about $180,000,000 and State debts to $300,000,000. Grand aggregate $1,140,000,000. He has taken great paint in procuring these figures, and thinks them more accurate than those the census. BesideB the obvious evil of burdening communities with heavy debts for which comparatively little oenent nai been received, he pointed out that the sys, tern furnishes safe and profitable invest, mentt for capitalist without giving them the trouble, or the communn tliJf advantage, of their embarl in? in aome active business. The multitude of these loans also raises the rate of interest which business has to pay, Aa a minrinal remedy against further in crease of these evils he recommended rigid constitutional limitations of the borrowing power of legislatures and municipalities. The present load of debt is no more than we are abundantly able to bear, and if for a single decade we should by any concert of action live on as econom leal a scale in iu cuuuir u iiie uu the most favored European kingdoms. as we did ourselves only twentytive years ago, we should save enough to recall every American stock and bond from the coffers of foreign bankers, and should pay off with ease our entire national oem, or t least have it held among our own people, which in itself would constitute no small decrease of burden. If such a return to our old habits of economy were practicable and practiced many problems of finance now disturbing the people and perplexing the legislator would find an easy solution nay, would not even remain to be solved at all. Mr. Blaine take a very rose-colnred view of our future prosperity, but calls for a conservative public opinion on the Increase of debt and for better safeguards in State Constitutions against the assumption of obligationi by municipalities. The best safeguard of all it Jeffer- aon't rule, never borrow a dollar without laying a tax for its liquidation. The constantly increasing debt of thit city, we think, ought to afford a hint to all inter ested in its welfare to pause before adding more burdens to the people, except in the way of a provision by a linking fund for paying the dent already created. it course.

That Mr. Pendleton's repudiationist mouthpiece truly interprets the meaning of the results in Ohio there cannot be a rational doubt. The gain of six repudia tionist members in Ohio, of a like number in North Carolina, and of one or two in Indiana, areall results having the same meaning. And that meaning is, increase of the volume of irredeemable rag currency; conversion of the Federal Treasury into a gigantic and permanent rag money mill, subject to the control of political demagogues and party emergencies; periodical inflation as the excess of shin-plasters becomes absorbed by a fictitious advance of nrices. and. finally, a grand break-down, repudiation, and hopeless ruin. This is the programme which the increase, br the recent elections, of the repudiationist opposition in Congress means. Chicago lima. How beautiful, how noble it the poet'i art when used to soothe the mourning heart 1 One of the sweetest and tenderest specimens of elegiac verse has been com posed by an English gentleman who ac cidentally got the remains of hit four wives somewhat mixed during their re moval to a new burial ground. He was determined, waa Mr. Sparks, that there should be no mistake at to the various Mrs. Sparkles' last abode; and according lv calmed his wounded spirit and display ed strict truthfulness by the composition nf the following beautiful inscriptions: "Here lies Jane (and probably part of Susan) Sparks." "Sacred to tne memory of Maria (to tar nothing of Jane and Hannah) Sotrke.'" "Strarw, pause and drop a tear, For Susan Spark, lies buried hr Minrled in come nerplexinz man ner, With Jane, Maria, and portions of Hannah. While ud at Columbus a few months since, we visited the Female Department of the Ohio Penitentiary, and while there were permitted to hold some conversation with a Mrs. Tilton, an old lady from Jackson oounty, Ohio, who it tharged with having shot a little boy for trespassing on her property. We bad read the evidence given in the case, at theCoronor'a inquest; and were strongly impressed in her favor thereby; deeming it utterly impossible that the could have done the shooting in the manner testified to by the companion of the boy that was shot. He swore, if we remember aright, that he heard a gun crack, saw his companion fall, and turning in the direction from which the Bound came, saw Mrs. Tilton standing near her bouse with a gun in her hand, the breech of which was resting on the ground, and heard her tay "there a one of em dead now for the other!" He immediately start ed and run as fast at beeould in the opposite direction, but before he could get out of reach, she fired at him and be beard the bullet whistle past him. "There wat one boy, we believe, who swore that ,tne d Iwo or three times wnue iney were running away; but lor obvious reasons ne was kept from testifyingon the trial of the esse in Court. The shooting wat alleged to have been done with a musket. Now, the person who is charged with doing this rapid shooting, (for,considering the weapon used, it would have been rapid shooting for an expert hunter,) is a trembling old woman, aged nearly seventy years ! As she tat before us, with tier nanus tremblinir with the infirmities of age, we could not conceive it possible for her to load and fire a gun at all ; and as lor ner doing It in the time and manner charged, it was Bimnlv a physical impossibility. the impresaion made npon our mind on reading the evidence at the time of the occurrence, waa that the boy wis killed by a chance shot from some hunters who were shooting at rabbits in a hazlenut thicket near by, and -that the boy who swore so positively as to what he saw and heard, was so frightened at see ing his companion fall dead at his side that he did not know what lie did see. The fact that he had heard that Mrs. ill- ton had threatened to shoot some one was sufficient to enable bim to see the old lady with her gun in almost anything that fell under his eye in the neighborhood of her house. The old lady, however, denies that she ever threatened to shoot any one. She says she knew that a story to that effect was going the rounds, and thinking that it mik; lit serve to deter the boys from stealing her fruit, she allowed it to go uncontradicted, never supposing for a mo ment mat a case coum arise wners it could be used against her. The people of Jackson were greatly excited at the time, and our impression is that lliev anowea their passions to run away with their better judgments in the matter, and thereby consigned a perfectly innocent party to the Unio Penitentiary, ana tnai iney ought now to go to work and get her out, and, so far as they can, undo the great wrong inflicted upon her.

Vehnon, Oct. 22. In the Demo cratic procession last night, there were three notable figures, of which 1 desire to make special mention. . A white stallion, Tommy Powell and Mr. Poppleton, who came in the order herein given. The stallion behaved very badly, as most Btal- lionsdo, but after the alaogwhang speech es were over, an old gentleman, who evidently had some appreciation of manners, etc., remarked that "the stallion was the only thoroughbred among the motley crowd." Poor little Tommy as upon a former occasion imitated his paternal ancestry according to the Darwinian theory, and climbed the Democratic pole with about the same result as that which befell his Darwinian grandfather, viz.: the high er he climbed the more . Tommy is not a success. He should eat fish, cracked wheat, boiled potatoes, and take a few drops of acidum phosphoricum dilutum, two or threes time daily, and then give his poor brain rest. The Court of Common Pleas is still in session, Judge Adams presiding.

It is thought that When the preliminary sur veys are completed, favorable action may be taken by Congress upon the subject, and thus may the Texas and Pacific railroad also get a slice. NEW ORLEANS. , Tt is understood that a nortion of West ern wheat growers are holding back their crop for higher prices, and some think this tact is one cause lor me present ue-uression in business. That the policy is a bad one. at the rule, no careful observer can question. When waste and interest on the capital required to carry a crop it considered, it is not difficult to see that chances of proiit from the hold-DscK policy are few and far between. The inter est on his capital is of as much import ance to the farmer as to the banker, i lie steadily declining price of wheat at Lon Hon and Liveruool. together with the small shipments from here, evidences that this only foreign market is slipping away from in and being supplied from other sources not unlikely by the sauiemations which were last year its competitors in the buying from us. We see it published that there are in store at New York at this time some 1,800,000 bushels of heat, against only 160,000 bush one year ago, ana n snip- monljf dn not soon increase there a probability that by the close of navigation that city will hold the ex- tranrri narv atocK ol over a.uuu,uw ousu via. airainst the average of less than 500.000 bushels.

Emperor William and Bismarck Lecture by llepworth Diion.J A stranger sauntering in and out among the lime trees of Berlin may chance to meet two men in earnest talk, on whom hia eves will fasten with a start. A plum and venerable man a soldier from the tin of his a-ilt he met to the spur of his cavalry dooi saiuies wun uiiuuiry quio. nest as you touch your nat. senate, little in advance and listening with a cu rious strain, he hat the outer presence of a man to whom the weight of life is not alone the load of time.

But even thit fine figure cannot keep your eye from wandering to tbe partner oi n walk. Straight as a pine and rugged as larch is he: a man in plain attire, yet mar tial in his stride and gait at though he also passed bis life in camp. A man with ample brow, firm and massive chin, a bead all brain, a truna an nerve, ne teems to pour out floods of strong speech, yet with an eye to open and a face so frank tnai ne wno nsiens wouiu not nave him spare one word. No dreamer, no self-searcher, no idealist is he; but one who clings to fact, to science, to tne ruie of three. Ne weakness lingers on that face; no doubt, no superstition, no re-mnm. When laughter ri miles down his cheek, it it the flash of light on metal, rather than the play oi nesn ana omoa.

The Attorney General's opinion of the legality of the naturalizations before the Second District Court will not be officially determined till to-morrow, but he to-day expressed tne conviction that the naturalization papers issued from that court since 1864 are noil and void. The Picayune says: "The question has been submitted to the District Attorney and to all the other Judges, and there is only one idea on the subject. All the great legal minds tins state naa produced have failed to discover any illegality in the naturalization.

SUSPENSIONS. Tbe Eplacopal Convention Hefnie bla Connrmatlon a BHhop or Illinois. New Yobk, Oct. 22. At 4 p. m. a vote on Dr. Seymour's confirmation was taken, tbe doort leading to the house being locked an'd guarded. The vote waa taken by dioceses, and Dr. Seymour was not confirmed. In the clerical vote 41 dioceses were represented, and the vote resulted as follows : Ayes 19, noes 10, di vided 12, the latter being counted as negative. In the lav vote there were but 40 diocesea 'represented, the delegates from Arkansas being absent, result, ayes la, noes 18. divided 9. By the constitution of the House it is necessary that the candidate for a Bishopric shall receive a ma jority vote of the dioceses represented in Convention. It was learned from a delegate that Dr. Seymour's defeat was due principally to a letter written by Bishop Cox recently and papers written by Professor Buell, of tueJNeW iorg lneoiogicai oeiniiiary, in which bejDr. Seymour) is charged with allowing Father Grafton, an extremist of Boston, to have access to the students in the Seminary of New York. The Convention adjourned till to-mor row, when it will again go into opensession. The vote counted by individuals shows a clear majority in Dr. Seymour's favor, and it was only the peculiar mode of voting by dioceses and orders that secured his defeat. A letter read to the House on Wednesday by the Bishop of Western New York did Dr. Seymour great injustice, and a searching investigation will be at once made, which it is expected will fully vindicate Dr. Seymour and place him still higher in popular favor. After a discussion of eight days, a discussion the most extraordinary in the history ol the American Church, not one charge against him has been sustained. He was found to he both sound in doctrine and pure in life. ' - The dioceses of Illinois will probably re-elect Dr. Seymour in two or three months, and 'then his case will go before the Bishops and standing committees, in whose hands he is sure of confirmation. The refusal on the part of the House to hear him in his own defense increases the sympathy felt for him. A letter expressive of undiminished love and confidence in Dr. Seymour is now being signed, and it will receive a majority of the signatures of the Bishops, clergy and laity. It is a matter of peculiar interest that the delegation of Western New York voted for Tim, notwithstanding the opposition of Bishop Cox. The clerical vote of Iowa 'was for him. and it is known that a ma jority of the Bishops are in his favor. LOUISIANA. Heavy Hank Failure at Newark, New Jersey A New York Jrnln Firm Gone Under.

Oatrnclslnfr or Ilepnbllcans at Slirevi port Merchant and Planter! Keratin- to Kmploy Political Opponents Arreat of tne Kecu-an la. Shbevepobt, La., Oct. 22. The question as to whether warrants are to be issued for the arrest of the sixtynine merchants who pledged themselves not to retain in their employ persons who support the Radical party in. the pending contest, was to-day settled in the affirmative npon the authority-of General Merrill, U. S. A,, commanding this Department, and A. B. Leaviss, United States Commissioner, who stated that the papers were being prepared and arrests would be made to morrow. Since the first announcement on Monday of the intention of the au thorities to make these arrests, the temper of the people has greatly improved, and it is not now probable that any of the parties will try to evade arrest. The narties interested have consulted leading attorneys, who advise them that their nledge is not in violation of the enforce ment act, in that it does not threaten any one on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and that a general declaration to employ no one upon a cer tain condition furnishes no ground for a specific charge of intimidating any such persons. Immediately after the authoritative an nouueementof General Merrill and Judge LeavisB this morning, the pledge waa again nut in circulation and received 180 addi tional signatures. These names include ranreaentativea of nearly every business establishment in the city. Copies of the nledore were Bent to the country and are said to have received the signatures of nlanters in all parts of the parish. It is not known yet whether any others than tne original aiAiyuiiie signtio it," uo arrested or not. A. Propeller Explode ber Boiler on Detroit River Heveral persona Hilled and Injured. Detroit.

A correspondent of the New- York Times, writing from Mobile, says the price of real estate in that city has declined nearly onehalf within the past five years. To illustrate, he says a lady, who left Mobile for New Orleans some years ago, recently wrote to an agent to sell her house and garden, which three years since could not be had for $4000. After much difficulty the property was disposed of for $1260, and this was considered a very good price, 8ome weekB ago a young lady, who was obliged to take up her resi dence in Texas, commissioned a Iriend ol Mr. Williams to sell her family residence at once, no matter what it would bring. The house alone was insured for $2200, and it was Biirrounded by a large garden. The entire property brought only $1500. Onlo.

A writer in tbe Christian at Work says: If you want to tee Borne of the curious phases of every-day life go to the hotels, Strange mixtures these places are of com fort and discomfort; of happy and odd people; of people who are busy and of those who have no other business than to pick their fellow-lodgers to pieces. But, for the most part, the people who lodge at hotels are as good as any other people, and many a hotel has, to a great extent, the advantages of a home. When a man goes to a hotel by himself, it is not an event of any great importance in the world's history. One in a crowd counts very little, except to himself. It is related that a man who had not traveled very much, came toone of the great city hotels and took lodging. After breakfast, be asked the clerk what time dinner would be ready. That pompous person informed him that it would be ready at 2 o'clock. He said : "Well, I'm going out, and may not be in till after that time, but tell them that they needn't wait dinner for me." The hotel dinner was not kept waiting for bim. When you see people at a hotel ordering the servants about in a haughty manner or complaining that the food ia poor, or that there is not enough of it, net them down for selfish, ill-bred people. It is more than likely what they are eating it a, great deal better than they have at home. When you see people who call for three times as much as they can eat, and mangle and waste what they leave, be sure they are inconsiderate creatures, who bave no idea of the golden rule. Some people think that because the hotel man charges them a good deal, therefore they have a right to waste and destroy all they can lay their hands on. They think it BhowB evidence of a noble mind and a fine bringing up to order a servant about, especially if he has a chocolate-colored skin. I have Been spoiled little girls order waiters to bring them for breakfast food enough to feed a whole family, telling the waiter to be sure and have each dish to suit them exactly. The toast must be done just to a certain shade of brown-ncss; the eggs boiled midway between hard and soft, not too soft nor too hard, but "just as I like them you know, John;" the steak done just to a turn; and to so, through a catalogue of orders which the waiter taxes his memory to the utmost to carry to the kitchen. Of the great array of dishes set before such a little maiden in response to her elaborate or ders, she would peck at a few, partially consume others, and waste the rest. The foolish child was but imitating her moth er and other grown-up people who were in the habit of doing the same thing. But I have wondered what kind of wives, mothers and housekeepers such girls will make when they shall be women. How the hotel waiters must laugh in their sleeves at some of the fine young men and boys who do big things in the way of ordering them around! 'There are some young people (and old ones too) who are as imperious in their ways at a hotel table aB the Shah of Persia or the Czar of Russia could be expected to be. If theBe folks could see themselves as others see them, what a taking down there would be of lofty manners I There is no place like a hotel to expose empty pre tensions, to prick the bubble of pride and pomposity.

A poor Turkish slater, of Constantinople, being at work upon the roof of a house, lost his footing and fell into the narrow street upon a man who chanced to be passing at the time. The pedestrian was killed by the concussion, while the slater escaped without material injury. A son of the deceased caused the slater to be arrested and brought before the Cadi, where he made the most grave charge, and claimed ample redress. The Cadi listened attentively, and in the end asked the slater what he had to say in his defense. "Dispenser of Justice," answered the accused, in humble mood, "it is even aa this man says : but god forbid that there should be evil in my heart. Iam a poor man, and know not how I can make amends." ........ The son of the man who .had been killed thereupon demanded that condign punishment be inflicted upon the accused. The Cadi meditated a few moments and finally said : "It shall be so." Then to the slater he continued "Thou shalt stand in the street where the father of this man stood when thou did'st fall upon him," And to the accuser he added "And thou shalt, if it so please thee, go upon the roof, and fall upon the culprit, even as he did fall upon thy father.

Iceland National Costnines. Cor. New York Herald. The men do not at the present time have any national coBtume. The more's the pity, as something on their part to balance the ladies' dresses would certainly have added greatly to the attractions of the scene. And I hope it will be a long time before the Icelandic maidens abandon their present style of dress; and I think it will, for tbey know that it is pretty, and that from a woman is a certain guarantee. The two principal features are tbe head-dress and the well, I shall ventuie simply to call it a jacket, not hav ing much acquaintance with the milliners' vocabulary, and everybody understands what jacket means. It reaches a little be low the waist, and is encircled by a metal, gold or silver belt, often ot the most elabor ate workmanship, and of native Icelandic production. Tbe Icelandic Bilver and goldsmiths are quite famous, and I have secured several specimens ol their hand work which are very beautiful. These belts are often of great value, worth many hundreds of dollars, and are kept as heirlooms in the family, falling to the eld est daughter on the death of the mother. They are fastened in front by huge clasps of hiagree work, to which are appended rattling ornaments.' The jacket is fastened in front, generally to the back, with elabo rately wrought buttons on either side,and brought together with a long chain, looped from side to side. The whole front, and sometimes much of the back, is covered with embroidery, in leaves or vines or flowers, in gold or silver thread. Around the neck there is often an embroidered collar of the same material, above which peeps a snow-white ruffle that is moBt be witching. The head dress it more difficult to de scribe. It is a sort of helmet, not fitted to the head like that of a cuirassier, but set on top of it and pinned to the hair. The crest comes forward nearly to a point. The one I have examined waa made of pasteboard and brass wire, Bluffed with cotton and covered with white silk. But the great feature is the veil. When the "helmet" is firmly pinned on the veil is at tached. This veil is about a yard long. and of the same width. Keing drawn to gether at tbe top, until narrowed to the circumference ot the neaa, it is orna mented with a ring of stars or butterflies, or band of gold and silver, and this be ing fastened to the "helmet" the veil is lifted and thrown back, and nine timet in ten out peeps aa cherry and bright and rosy a face as man would ever wish to look upon.

For this crime be wat sent to rVinvirt Prison, twelve years ago. He there behaved extremely well, rendering great service in the mnrmary, and prov ing an excellent nurse.

Extensive forest and marsh fires are prevailing in Northern and Northwestern Ohio, the result of the prolonged and continuous dry weather. The Columbus Gazette's gadabout does get off some very good things. In the last number he has an article on the Columbus Fire Department "with other matters utterly foreign to the subject, thrown in by way of variety." Oub Canadian neighbors claim to have discovered a method of navigating the St. Lawrence throughout the winter, in spite of the ice blockade.

Iff a county not far off the Democrats succeeded the other day in electing the prosecuting attorney. "Why," said Republican to a prominent Democrat, referring to the matter, "the man can't draw an indictment." "Certainly," re plied the Democrat, "we don't expect him to." The Board of Trustees of the Soldiers' Orphans' Home at Xenia seems to have preferred to accept the unconditional and immediate resignation of Superintendent Jenner rather than to take a direct vote on the charges against hira. This seems to imply that the Board would have sus tained the charges. The Protestant Episcopal Convention, voting by dioceses, refused to confirm Dr. Seymour as Bishop of Illinois, although a majority o the delegate! were in his favor. Dr. Seymour's caw will now, in the course of a few months, go before the Board of Bishops, at whose hands con. firmation is certain. The Cincinnati Commercial would do us injustice to suppose that we had not made complaint in the proper quarter before calling attention through our columns to the advertisements of the . press agent at New York. It is not a matter over which we have lost much natural rest, however. The press dispatches are good enough otherwise to satisfy stockholders. even if an occasional advertisement were slipped in. Our greatest objection ib that it breaks the rule of "well regulated news papers" given by the Commercial that advertising shall not be admitted in that form. ' On the 1st instant Mr. Speaker Blaine, of Congress, delivered an address before Wisconsin Agricultural Society on "Mu. nicipal Debts," in which he presented statistics showing that the one hundred and eightysix towns in the United States having over 10,000 inhabitants each, have an aggregate debt of about $400,000,000, The aggregate debt of all other towns he roughly estimates at $80,000,000. . Coun ty debts amount to about $180,000,000 and State debts to $300,000,000. Grand aggregate $1,140,000,000. He has taken great paint in procuring these figures, and thinks them more accurate than those the census. BesideB the obvious evil of burdening communities with heavy debts for which comparatively little oenent nai been received, he pointed out that the sys, tern furnishes safe and profitable invest, mentt for capitalist without giving them the trouble, or the communn tliJf advantage, of their embarl in? in aome active business. The multitude of these loans also raises the rate of interest which business has to pay, Aa a minrinal remedy against further in crease of these evils he recommended rigid constitutional limitations of the borrowing power of legislatures and municipalities. The present load of debt is no more than we are abundantly able to bear, and if for a single decade we should by any concert of action live on as econom leal a scale in iu cuuuir u iiie uu the most favored European kingdoms. as we did ourselves only twentytive years ago, we should save enough to recall every American stock and bond from the coffers of foreign bankers, and should pay off with ease our entire national oem, or t least have it held among our own people, which in itself would constitute no small decrease of burden. If such a return to our old habits of economy were practicable and practiced many problems of finance now disturbing the people and perplexing the legislator would find an easy solution nay, would not even remain to be solved at all. Mr. Blaine take a very rose-colnred view of our future prosperity, but calls for a conservative public opinion on the Increase of debt and for better safeguards in State Constitutions against the assumption of obligationi by municipalities. The best safeguard of all it Jeffer- aon't rule, never borrow a dollar without laying a tax for its liquidation. The constantly increasing debt of thit city, we think, ought to afford a hint to all inter ested in its welfare to pause before adding more burdens to the people, except in the way of a provision by a linking fund for paying the dent already created. it course.

While ud at Columbus a few months since, we visited the Female Department of the Ohio Penitentiary, and while there were permitted to hold some conversation with a Mrs. Tilton, an old lady from Jackson oounty, Ohio, who it tharged with having shot a little boy for trespassing on her property. We bad read the evidence given in the case, at theCoronor'a inquest; and were strongly impressed in her favor thereby; deeming it utterly impossible that the could have done the shooting in the manner testified to by the companion of the boy that was shot. He swore, if we remember aright, that he heard a gun crack, saw his companion fall, and turning in the direction from which the Bound came, saw Mrs. Tilton standing near her bouse with a gun in her hand, the breech of which was resting on the ground, and heard her tay "there a one of em dead now for the other!" He immediately start ed and run as fast at beeould in the opposite direction, but before he could get out of reach, she fired at him and be beard the bullet whistle past him. "There wat one boy, we believe, who swore that ,tne d Iwo or three times wnue iney were running away; but lor obvious reasons ne was kept from testifyingon the trial of the esse in Court. The shooting wat alleged to have been done with a musket. Now, the person who is charged with doing this rapid shooting, (for,considering the weapon used, it would have been rapid shooting for an expert hunter,) is a trembling old woman, aged nearly seventy years ! As she tat before us, with tier nanus tremblinir with the infirmities of age, we could not conceive it possible for her to load and fire a gun at all ; and as lor ner doing It in the time and manner charged, it was Bimnlv a physical impossibility. the impresaion made npon our mind on reading the evidence at the time of the occurrence, waa that the boy wis killed by a chance shot from some hunters who were shooting at rabbits in a hazlenut thicket near by, and -that the boy who swore so positively as to what he saw and heard, was so frightened at see ing his companion fall dead at his side that he did not know what lie did see. The fact that he had heard that Mrs. ill- ton had threatened to shoot some one was sufficient to enable bim to see the old lady with her gun in almost anything that fell under his eye in the neighborhood of her house. The old lady, however, denies that she ever threatened to shoot any one. She says she knew that a story to that effect was going the rounds, and thinking that it mik; lit serve to deter the boys from stealing her fruit, she allowed it to go uncontradicted, never supposing for a mo ment mat a case coum arise wners it could be used against her. The people of Jackson were greatly excited at the time, and our impression is that lliev anowea their passions to run away with their better judgments in the matter, and thereby consigned a perfectly innocent party to the Unio Penitentiary, ana tnai iney ought now to go to work and get her out, and, so far as they can, undo the great wrong inflicted upon her.

SUSPENSIONS. Tbe Eplacopal Convention Hefnie bla Connrmatlon a BHhop or Illinois. New Yobk, Oct. 22. At 4 p. m. a vote on Dr. Seymour's confirmation was taken, tbe doort leading to the house being locked an'd guarded. The vote waa taken by dioceses, and Dr. Seymour was not confirmed. In the clerical vote 41 dioceses were represented, and the vote resulted as follows : Ayes 19, noes 10, di vided 12, the latter being counted as negative. In the lav vote there were but 40 diocesea 'represented, the delegates from Arkansas being absent, result, ayes la, noes 18. divided 9. By the constitution of the House it is necessary that the candidate for a Bishopric shall receive a ma jority vote of the dioceses represented in Convention. It was learned from a delegate that Dr. Seymour's defeat was due principally to a letter written by Bishop Cox recently and papers written by Professor Buell, of tueJNeW iorg lneoiogicai oeiniiiary, in which bejDr. Seymour) is charged with allowing Father Grafton, an extremist of Boston, to have access to the students in the Seminary of New York. The Convention adjourned till to-mor row, when it will again go into opensession. The vote counted by individuals shows a clear majority in Dr. Seymour's favor, and it was only the peculiar mode of voting by dioceses and orders that secured his defeat. A letter read to the House on Wednesday by the Bishop of Western New York did Dr. Seymour great injustice, and a searching investigation will be at once made, which it is expected will fully vindicate Dr. Seymour and place him still higher in popular favor. After a discussion of eight days, a discussion the most extraordinary in the history ol the American Church, not one charge against him has been sustained. He was found to he both sound in doctrine and pure in life. ' - The dioceses of Illinois will probably re-elect Dr. Seymour in two or three months, and 'then his case will go before the Bishops and standing committees, in whose hands he is sure of confirmation. The refusal on the part of the House to hear him in his own defense increases the sympathy felt for him. A letter expressive of undiminished love and confidence in Dr. Seymour is now being signed, and it will receive a majority of the signatures of the Bishops, clergy and laity. It is a matter of peculiar interest that the delegation of Western New York voted for Tim, notwithstanding the opposition of Bishop Cox. The clerical vote of Iowa 'was for him. and it is known that a ma jority of the Bishops are in his favor. LOUISIANA. Heavy Hank Failure at Newark, New Jersey A New York Jrnln Firm Gone Under.

Oatrnclslnfr or Ilepnbllcans at Slirevi port Merchant and Planter! Keratin- to Kmploy Political Opponents Arreat of tne Kecu-an la. Shbevepobt, La., Oct. 22. The question as to whether warrants are to be issued for the arrest of the sixtynine merchants who pledged themselves not to retain in their employ persons who support the Radical party in. the pending contest, was to-day settled in the affirmative npon the authority-of General Merrill, U. S. A,, commanding this Department, and A. B. Leaviss, United States Commissioner, who stated that the papers were being prepared and arrests would be made to morrow. Since the first announcement on Monday of the intention of the au thorities to make these arrests, the temper of the people has greatly improved, and it is not now probable that any of the parties will try to evade arrest. The narties interested have consulted leading attorneys, who advise them that their nledge is not in violation of the enforce ment act, in that it does not threaten any one on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, and that a general declaration to employ no one upon a cer tain condition furnishes no ground for a specific charge of intimidating any such persons. Immediately after the authoritative an nouueementof General Merrill and Judge LeavisB this morning, the pledge waa again nut in circulation and received 180 addi tional signatures. These names include ranreaentativea of nearly every business establishment in the city. Copies of the nledore were Bent to the country and are said to have received the signatures of nlanters in all parts of the parish. It is not known yet whether any others than tne original aiAiyuiiie signtio it," uo arrested or not. A. Propeller Explode ber Boiler on Detroit River Heveral persona Hilled and Injured. Detroit.

A correspondent of the New- York Times, writing from Mobile, says the price of real estate in that city has declined nearly onehalf within the past five years. To illustrate, he says a lady, who left Mobile for New Orleans some years ago, recently wrote to an agent to sell her house and garden, which three years since could not be had for $4000. After much difficulty the property was disposed of for $1260, and this was considered a very good price, 8ome weekB ago a young lady, who was obliged to take up her resi dence in Texas, commissioned a Iriend ol Mr. Williams to sell her family residence at once, no matter what it would bring. The house alone was insured for $2200, and it was Biirrounded by a large garden. The entire property brought only $1500. Onlo.

A writer in tbe Christian at Work says: If you want to tee Borne of the curious phases of every-day life go to the hotels, Strange mixtures these places are of com fort and discomfort; of happy and odd people; of people who are busy and of those who have no other business than to pick their fellow-lodgers to pieces. But, for the most part, the people who lodge at hotels are as good as any other people, and many a hotel has, to a great extent, the advantages of a home. When a man goes to a hotel by himself, it is not an event of any great importance in the world's history. One in a crowd counts very little, except to himself. It is related that a man who had not traveled very much, came toone of the great city hotels and took lodging. After breakfast, be asked the clerk what time dinner would be ready. That pompous person informed him that it would be ready at 2 o'clock. He said : "Well, I'm going out, and may not be in till after that time, but tell them that they needn't wait dinner for me." The hotel dinner was not kept waiting for bim. When you see people at a hotel ordering the servants about in a haughty manner or complaining that the food ia poor, or that there is not enough of it, net them down for selfish, ill-bred people. It is more than likely what they are eating it a, great deal better than they have at home. When you see people who call for three times as much as they can eat, and mangle and waste what they leave, be sure they are inconsiderate creatures, who bave no idea of the golden rule. Some people think that because the hotel man charges them a good deal, therefore they have a right to waste and destroy all they can lay their hands on. They think it BhowB evidence of a noble mind and a fine bringing up to order a servant about, especially if he has a chocolate-colored skin. I have Been spoiled little girls order waiters to bring them for breakfast food enough to feed a whole family, telling the waiter to be sure and have each dish to suit them exactly. The toast must be done just to a certain shade of brown-ncss; the eggs boiled midway between hard and soft, not too soft nor too hard, but "just as I like them you know, John;" the steak done just to a turn; and to so, through a catalogue of orders which the waiter taxes his memory to the utmost to carry to the kitchen. Of the great array of dishes set before such a little maiden in response to her elaborate or ders, she would peck at a few, partially consume others, and waste the rest. The foolish child was but imitating her moth er and other grown-up people who were in the habit of doing the same thing. But I have wondered what kind of wives, mothers and housekeepers such girls will make when they shall be women. How the hotel waiters must laugh in their sleeves at some of the fine young men and boys who do big things in the way of ordering them around! 'There are some young people (and old ones too) who are as imperious in their ways at a hotel table aB the Shah of Persia or the Czar of Russia could be expected to be. If theBe folks could see themselves as others see them, what a taking down there would be of lofty manners I There is no place like a hotel to expose empty pre tensions, to prick the bubble of pride and pomposity.

A poor Turkish slater, of Constantinople, being at work upon the roof of a house, lost his footing and fell into the narrow street upon a man who chanced to be passing at the time. The pedestrian was killed by the concussion, while the slater escaped without material injury. A son of the deceased caused the slater to be arrested and brought before the Cadi, where he made the most grave charge, and claimed ample redress. The Cadi listened attentively, and in the end asked the slater what he had to say in his defense. "Dispenser of Justice," answered the accused, in humble mood, "it is even aa this man says : but god forbid that there should be evil in my heart. Iam a poor man, and know not how I can make amends." ........ The son of the man who .had been killed thereupon demanded that condign punishment be inflicted upon the accused. The Cadi meditated a few moments and finally said : "It shall be so." Then to the slater he continued "Thou shalt stand in the street where the father of this man stood when thou did'st fall upon him," And to the accuser he added "And thou shalt, if it so please thee, go upon the roof, and fall upon the culprit, even as he did fall upon thy father.

Iceland National Costnines. Cor. New York Herald. The men do not at the present time have any national coBtume. The more's the pity, as something on their part to balance the ladies' dresses would certainly have added greatly to the attractions of the scene. And I hope it will be a long time before the Icelandic maidens abandon their present style of dress; and I think it will, for tbey know that it is pretty, and that from a woman is a certain guarantee. The two principal features are tbe head-dress and the well, I shall ventuie simply to call it a jacket, not hav ing much acquaintance with the milliners' vocabulary, and everybody understands what jacket means. It reaches a little be low the waist, and is encircled by a metal, gold or silver belt, often ot the most elabor ate workmanship, and of native Icelandic production. Tbe Icelandic Bilver and goldsmiths are quite famous, and I have secured several specimens ol their hand work which are very beautiful. These belts are often of great value, worth many hundreds of dollars, and are kept as heirlooms in the family, falling to the eld est daughter on the death of the mother. They are fastened in front by huge clasps of hiagree work, to which are appended rattling ornaments.' The jacket is fastened in front, generally to the back, with elabo rately wrought buttons on either side,and brought together with a long chain, looped from side to side. The whole front, and sometimes much of the back, is covered with embroidery, in leaves or vines or flowers, in gold or silver thread. Around the neck there is often an embroidered collar of the same material, above which peeps a snow-white ruffle that is moBt be witching. The head dress it more difficult to de scribe. It is a sort of helmet, not fitted to the head like that of a cuirassier, but set on top of it and pinned to the hair. The crest comes forward nearly to a point. The one I have examined waa made of pasteboard and brass wire, Bluffed with cotton and covered with white silk. But the great feature is the veil. When the "helmet" is firmly pinned on the veil is at tached. This veil is about a yard long. and of the same width. Keing drawn to gether at tbe top, until narrowed to the circumference ot the neaa, it is orna mented with a ring of stars or butterflies, or band of gold and silver, and this be ing fastened to the "helmet" the veil is lifted and thrown back, and nine timet in ten out peeps aa cherry and bright and rosy a face as man would ever wish to look upon. The skirt is sometimes. though rarely, ornamented, and the sleeves follow no other fashion than wo man's caprice.
